Pineapple Upside Down Caramel Cake is a nice flavorful cake. Its an easy cake and good to make for beginners like me. I really liked the taste and is a different kind of cake. I made this traditional upside down cakes using fresh pineapple and cherries. Though I stewed them first to slightly remove the sour taste. Here I am sharing the recipes with pictures...

Its a light and tangy snack. Small wheat or semolina puffs filled with variety of stuffings and spicy water has to be eaten at once. It is such a delight to eat it so methodically.

Aloo Parantha is now worldwide famous dish..Thanks to Punjab to actually give it a local exotic frame. Spicy boiled potatoes stuffed in parantha, topped with a dash of white butter with masala curd is a heavenly dish. Ask an Indian and he will rarely say no to it. A simple breakfast dish or a tiffin dish, aloo parantha is loved by one and all. Here, I am sharing the recipe with pics...

Now divide dough into balls. Take a ball , make a well in the centre with the help of thumb and forefinger and stuff about minimum 1 big tbs of potato stuffing in it. Then seal the edges.

On one side heat a tawa / skillet on gas. On another side, roll stuffed dough ball on the dry flour and with the help of a rolling pin, flatten it a bit. You don't have to make it thin, its better if the stuffing doesn't comes out.

﻿

Slowly place this parantha on the hot tawa, let it cook for approx 3 minutes.

Now flip the side and pour one tbs of oil and smear it all over the parantha. Till this time the lower side must be cooked. so again flip it. Press with a spatula for even cooking. Keep flipping till you get the crispiness of your liking.

﻿

Remove parantha from the tawa and place it in a serving plate. A dash of butter adds to the taste and serve with mango pickle and masala curd.
